John Lee Hooker - It Serve You Right To Suffer (180 gram)

John Lee Hooker himself did not know his exact date of birth. If he hadn’t died at around the age of 80, this ageless musician would still be easily pulling the next generation to his gigs.

Hooker remains a phenomenon, a mysterious figure of black rhythm and blues, a charismatic king who reigns supreme in rock ‘n’ roll’s Hall of Fame.

John W. Peters described his music as a synthesis of scorching emotional ardour, unrelenting rhythmic intensity, and original poetry of a highly personal character.

Anyone hearing him for the first time may well be startled at the unfiltered passion and power of his music.

And another surprise is in store for those who compare Hooker’s late recordings with those made in the Sixties. His unmistakable, raw voice has fully matured, but his incantatory style of singing appears markedly finer and more flexible. And then there is the perfect gem of a rhythm group whose sinewy sounds fill the grooves with merciless gravitational force. It’s enough to make your spine tingle!

Australian HiFi Show 2017 Report

It was great to catch up with so many of GrooveWorks' customers in Sydney and also to be able to demonstrate to visitors the importance of clean mains power, resonance control and effective grounding in an audio system. In a less-than-ideal hotel room situation (and thanks to Telos Audio Design's Jeff Lin and his exceptional products) we were able to deliver a high-end sound by dealing with these basic issues.
